A recent report published by a prestigious scientific journal concludes that climate warming "is both natural and unstoppable," and it also says that carbon dioxide is not a pollutant.

Professor David H. Douglass (of the University of Rochester), professor John R. Christy (of the University of Alabama), Benjamin D. Pearson and professor S. Fred Singer (of the University of Virginia) wrote a report for the International Journal of Climatology of the Royal Meteorological Society. They observed that patterns in temperature change over the last 30 years disagree with predicted greenhouse models. Natural factors such as solar variability better explain changes in the temperature.

As a result, climate change is "unstoppable" and can't be modified by controlling the emission of greenhouse gases. The report says, "Our research demonstrates that the ongoing rise of atmospheric CO2 has only a minor influence on climate change. We must conclude, therefore, that attempts to control CO2 emissions are ineffective and pointless — but very costly."
